Executive Director, Outright International

As we mark Lesbian Visibility Week, we would like to celebrate movement leaders who continue to amplify, advocate and carry the voices of queer women.

At Outright International, we believe that visibility is important. This is why we started our LBQ Connect program, which aims to strengthen lesbian, bisexual and queer movements and representation. Learn more about our program ([link removed]) .

Outright is thrilled to announce this year's Celebration of Courage Host: the indefatigable BeBe Zahara Benet!

BeBe Zahara Benet is equal parts bold, beautiful, and business-minded.
Simply stated: The international recording artist, TV personality, activist and pop culture provocateur breaks the entertainment mold.

BeBe is best known as the inaugural winner of RuPaul’s Drag Race, the star of TLC’s Dragnificent and the subject of the award-winning documentary Being BeBe. With BeBe on stage, our evening is guaranteed to be inspirational, joining our communities in support of human rights for LGBTIQ people everywhere.
